My Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro review after nearly a year of daily use: how it washed, sterilized, and dried, who it’s for, and who it’s not for. Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro with the lid open and bottles on the racks. Baby Brezza launched the [Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) in August 2023 and [calls it](https://babybrezza.com/blogs/news/bottle-washer) the first product that automatically washes, sterilizes, and dries bottles, pump parts, and accessories at the push of a button. With plenty of competition out there today, though, the real question is how this washer holds up now that the novelty has worn off. My wife and I bought this appliance in the fall of 2024, a few weeks before our son was born, and I wrote the first version of this review in late December 2024 after six weeks of using it every day. You’re now reading the second version, which reflects my thoughts about and experiences with this product after almost a full year of use. I kept using it daily until September 2025. That’s when we moved from Spain to the U.S. Shipping the washer across the ocean would have been expensive (besides, the grid in Europe runs on 230 V and the U.S. on 120 V), so I sold it to another parent in the neighborhood. It never needed a repair, and as far as I know, they kept using it. ## The Review in a Minute The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) can hold four baby bottles or the parts of a single breast pump in one cycle and keep them sterilized for up to 72 hours. But there’s a catch: for them to stay sterile, you can’t open the lid. It automatically washes baby essentials using water and baby-safe detergent; sterilizes them with steam (Baby Brezza says it kills at least 99% of germs); and dries them with HEPA-filtered hot air. After the last cycle, the appliance shuts off. By comparison, some other bottle washers, like the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/), have a storage mode that keeps blowing filtered air over what you just cleaned for up to 72 hours. None of their makers say that keeps things sterile once you open the lid. Baby bottles go on the bottom rack, with enough room for even 8-oz (236-ml) ones, and bottle parts, like rings and silicone nipples, go on the top rack. There isn’t much space on the top rack, though, and depending on what you plan to use the Baby Brezza for, that can be a pro or a con. On the one hand, the cramped top rack means you typically have to wash baby bottle caps separately. On the other, breast pump parts and light, more finicky items like nipple shields and their plastic containers stay in place during the wash cycle since they don’t have room to bounce around the way they would in a roomier washer or on the top rack of a dishwasher. The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) has two water tanks: one tank for tap water (if your home has hard water, you should consider using distilled water instead), and another for the wastewater from the wash cycle. This is one area where the Brezza stands out. Other baby bottle washers, like the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/), which I also reviewed here on the site, drain wastewater through a plastic hose. Baby Brezza pitches this as a plus on its website, stating that this bottle washer requires “no messy drain hoses or special plumbing.” And up to a point, I agree. But that’s only true if you plan to put your baby bottle washer in a bedroom or nursery, which is when a wastewater tank comes in handy. However, if you’re a single mom recovering from childbirth; a dad, mom, or grandparent with limited mobility; or you simply don’t feel like hauling around a tank full of wastewater after every cycle, a hose makes more sense, since you can put the appliance on the kitchen or bathroom counter and have it drain right into the sink. Still, in nearly a year of daily use, our Baby Brezza never broke, sprang a leak, or showed any wear, and it washed just as well in September 2025 as it did in its first week. It was my wife’s favorite because it did such a good job of washing nipple shields and pump parts. I personally prefer the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/) when there’s a sink nearby, but the Baby Brezza is among [the best baby bottle washers on the market](https://dads-picks.com/best-baby-bottle-washers/), and it’s the one I’d pick for a nursery. ***Check the latest price with your preferred retailer:*** - [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) - [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro on Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Brezza-Bottle-Washer-Pro-Washer-Sterilizer-Dryer-All-One-Machine-Cleans-Bottles-Pump-Parts-Sippy-Cups-Replaces-Hand-Washing-Brushes-Drying-Racks/5534055750) ## Who This Baby Bottle Washer Is For Handwashing baby bottles, sippy cups, and pump parts several times a day adds up to a lot of hours in your little one’s first year. That’s time you could put to better use, especially with how much care your baby needs in those first few weeks and months, and how little sleep you’ll be getting. Busy parents with multiple children, as well as working parents who have little-to-no free time at home, can greatly benefit from a baby bottle washer. It’s basically like having an extra pair of hands that washes, sterilizes, and dries baby essentials for you. The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20), in particular, is an excellent choice if you plan to use it in the nursery or bedroom, since it empties dirty water into a tank and doesn’t need to be hooked up to a kitchen or bathroom sink. My wife's Elvie breast pump parts on the top and bottom racks of the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks I also recommend it for moms who exclusively breastfeed and don’t want to handwash pump parts and then dip them in boiling water to sterilize them (because this is the 21st century, after all). So who *isn’t* it for? Moms in postpartum recovery who can’t lift heavy things yet, and parents or grandparents who have trouble lifting and carrying a full dirty water tank to the sink. The dirty water tank holds about 3.9 qt (3.7 l), and someone has to carry it to the sink and empty it after every cycle. In our house, that someone was me. If nobody in your home can take on that job, a bottle washer that drains through a hose might just be the better pick. ## Pros & Cons - Fits four baby bottles (including Dr. Brown’s) or the parts of one pump. - The rack can be adjusted to better fit either taller or wider bottles. - Small wheels make it easy to turn the washer around on a flat surface. - Never needed a repair in nearly a year of daily use. - The top rack is cramped, and Baby Brezza’s own manual says wide collars and caps may not fit and may need a separate cycle. - The lid comes off to load, and putting it back on can knock parts loose. - A little water can stay in the indented bottoms of upside-down bottles (common to bottle washers, not unique to this one). - You have to fill the clean water tank and empty the dirty one with every use. ## Specs **Product specifications** | **Brand** | Baby Brezza | | --- | --- | | **Model** | Bottle Washer Pro | | **Made in** | China | | **Dimensions** (L x H x W, measured) | 18.5 in (47 cm) x 15.3 in (39 cm) x 9.8 in (25 cm) | | **Cycles** | **6 modes in total:** • Wash, sterilize, and dry (88 minutes) **•** Wash and dry (79 minutes) **•** Wash only (19 minutes) **•** Sterilize and dry (69 minutes) **•** Sterilize only (9 minutes) **•** Dry only (60 minutes) | | **Spray jets** | 20 directional jets | | **Detergent** | Proprietary detergent tablets | | **Water pressure** | Not disclosed | | **Water tank capacity** | Clean and dirty water tanks: about 3.9 qt (3.7 l) each (measured) | | **Drainage method** | Dirty water tank | | **Air filter** | HEPA filter | | **Warranty period** | • Limited 1-year warranty in the United States • 2-year warranty in the European Union | ## Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro Review ### Looks Looks score ★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5) The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) is a tall and elongated baby bottle washer available in three colors: black and white, charcoal, and plain black. On the front, it has an LED display that shows the selected configuration, remaining time for each cycle, and any warnings during use. Four buttons operate the appliance: one button powers it on or off, another starts or pauses the selected cycle, and two buttons let you choose washing, sterilizing, and/or drying (I’ve included all the possible combinations in the specs table). A close-up view of the four buttons used to operate the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks A cap on the top rear section of the appliance lifts open so you can fill the clean water tank with either tap or distilled water. If you’d rather fill the clean water tank at the sink, it detaches easily. If you’re filling the appliance from a bottle, just open the cap. The dirty water tank is below the clean water tank, at the lower rear of the appliance. The power cable extends from underneath the appliance and passes through a slotted opening. The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, as seen from the back. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks For a baby bottle washer, the design is fine. It could be sleeker and more appealing, but it’s generally practical, with a few caveats I’ll get to shortly. Inside the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) are two round racks, which you need to assemble after unboxing the appliance. The bottom rack holds four baby bottles and Dr. Brown's green anti-colic vent system parts. The top rack is for baby bottle parts, such as rings, silicone nipples, and bottle caps. ### Ease of Use Ease of use score ★★★☆☆ (3 stars out of 5) Assembling this baby bottle washer does involve a learning curve. One setup tip: there’s cardboard hiding under the lower rack, so take it out before the first run. It took me some time to get used to the display and buttons during the first few days after our son’s birth. But by keeping the user manual handy, I got the hang of it and soon didn’t need it anymore. Keep in mind that if the grandparents are helping out or you have a nanny, you’ll probably want to write them a short step-by-step guide and leave it next to the appliance, just in case. The Baby Brezza is built differently from the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/), which is like a mini dishwasher on the inside, with a lower rack that pulls forward. The Brezza is a tall chamber with two round racks stacked on a center tube, and the only way in is from the top: to load bottles, you lift the whole lid off. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it gives you ample room to position all the bottles and their parts carefully. On the other, when you put the lid back on, you can jiggle and dislodge some parts unless you’re careful. Not great when you’re sleep-deprived. I really like that there are dedicated slots — and side water jets — for the green parts of Dr. Brown’s anti-colic bottles on the lower rack. Other baby bottle washers don’t have this. Baby Brezza’s manual says small parts like these can also be handwashed. The other thing I like is that the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) comes with two center tubes, which let you adjust the height and position of the top rack. A shorter tube makes the top rack roomier; a longer tube lets you fit taller bottles on the lower rack. However, the top rack is somewhat cramped and doesn't fit all baby bottle parts; my wife and I usually had to wash the caps separately. Looking back on nearly a year with it, the lid and the crammed top rack were my main gripes. It’s simply not the easiest bottle washer to use when it’s 4 AM and you’ve woken up to feed kiddo for the nth time that night. But otherwise, it’s good. Really good. Even with these flaws — none of which I consider dealbreakers — this device is a godsend for parents who loathe the idea of handwashing: Once you've loaded the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) and started the cycle, you just sit back and let it do its job. Every run starts with filling the clean water tank and ends with emptying the dirty one. The dirty water tank comes out the back of the washer, so you either need clear space behind it or have to turn the whole appliance around to reach it. The small wheels on its underside make turning it easier. But the power cord is relatively short, so you’ll have to unplug it first, and a full turn means keeping the counter around the washer clear. The dirty water tank is typically three-quarters full after the washing cycle. The remaining water is used up during sterilization. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks So I skipped the turning. I kept this baby bottle washer on a desk in the nursery, turned sideways, with more than enough room behind it to pull the tank straight out. (I’d love it if this appliance came in two versions: one with a wastewater tank and one with a drain hose.) The hangout spot for the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro in our home. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks Of course, this is just *my* view of things, and it’s not going to be the same for every parent. My wife, who outsourced loading and emptying the water tanks of this baby bottle washer to me, absolutely loved it and was convinced it was the best. And she had her reasons; see below. ### Baby Bottle Washing Bottle washing score ★★★★★ (5 stars out of 5) This is where this baby bottle washer truly shines. I cannot emphasize enough just how good the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) is at washing baby bottles (*and* sippy cups, *and* pacifiers, *and* pump parts, and pretty much any baby essential that you can fit in it). And it stayed that good: the washes in September 2025 were as clean as the ones in our first six weeks. I attribute this to the 20 directional jets that shoot water at high pressure directly onto and into whatever’s inside. Other bottle washers, like the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/), have 26 jets, but only 12 of them are directional; the rest swirl. This directionality, if we can call it that, is what I believe makes it clean so well. So, if you're the type of person who doesn't want to pre-rinse baby bottles, often forgets to do it, or freaks out about germs all the time, well … maybe this bottle washer is the right one for you. Both my wife and I are convinced that the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) can clean almost anything you throw its way. Of course, there are limits. For example, if your home has hard water, it *will* leave mineral deposits on the baby bottles. This isn’t the washer’s fault; it’s simply what happens when hard water dries. I saw people complaining about this when I was first researching the appliance. Use distilled water like I did, and there will be no spots. When we lived near the ocean in Spain, our home had hard water, so I bought distilled water for my Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks Also, as good as the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) is at washing bottles, please pre-rinse yours. I rinsed off the milk right after every feeding. It cuts down on bacteria growth and makes the appliance’s job a whole lot easier. ### Baby Bottle Sterilization Bottle sterilization score ★★★★★ (5 stars out of 5) Like other bottle washers in its category, the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) turns water into steam to sterilize baby bottles and pump parts for you. Sterilization takes nine minutes. According to Baby Brezza, the steam kills at least 99% of germs. One safety note: [Baby Brezza’s manual](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1465/2384/files/BRZ0103_Bottle_Washer_Pro_BW_IM_US_250903.pdf?v=1765855769) says to wait 5 minutes after a cycle finishes before lifting the lid. It gets really hot inside, and the steam can scald you. There’s not much to add here, other than that this appliance gets the job done, and quickly. That’s precisely what you want when your little one’s hangry and already kicking and screaming for their next feeding. ### Baby Bottle Drying Bottle drying score ★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5) Drying is the Achilles’ heel of all baby bottle washers. For reasons I’ve never gotten a clear answer on from a product engineer, it seems to be pretty hard to dry baby bottles completely after washing. The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) dries baby bottles and pump parts decently — better than the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/) did in my tests — and it dried just as well in its last months with us as in its first six weeks. Just don’t expect miracles. A few drops of water will remain in the indented bottoms of your baby bottles after the drying cycle. Every bottle washer does this, so I don’t hold it against the Brezza. It's not uncommon for water droplets to pool in the concave areas of your baby bottles. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks To Baby Brezza's credit, this is mentioned at the front of the user manual, which clearly states: "A small amount of residual water may occasionally remain in concave areas of products after drying, just like your dishwasher. Just tilt the products so the water runs off in the machine." ### Baby Bottle Storage Bottle storage score ★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5) The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) doesn’t have a separate storage mode. Some competitors do, and they use that cycle to keep bottles sterilized after the wash. [Baby Brezza says](https://www.babybrezza.co.uk/products/bottle-washer-pro) the contents stay sterilized for up to 72 hours as long as you keep the lid closed and leave them inside. That’s the same window those storage modes advertise, without needing a dedicated setting. To be frank with you as always, I don't consider this an issue. Which parent needs to keep baby bottles or pump parts sterile for three days? (Seriously.) Your little one has to eat eventually. It's enough that you can let the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) do its thing while you're at work or visiting the pediatrician and have sterile gear when you're back. ### Build Quality Build quality score ★★★★★ (5 stars out of 5) As with the [Baby Brezza Smart Bottle Warmer](https://dads-picks.com/baby-brezza-smart-bottle-warmer-review/) I also used daily, the build quality is great. Although the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) is mostly made from plastic, nothing about this appliance feels frail or shaky. From the fall of 2024 to September 2025, my wife and I ran it one to three times a day, every day, for bottles and pump parts, and it held up the whole time, with no broken parts, leaks, or wear. It never did a bad job of washing baby bottles, either. Some reviewers, like [Karing for Postpartum](https://www.karingforpostpartum.com/blog/baby-brezza-review-from-a-mom-of-5), report error codes and warped lids. I had neither in nearly a year: the only warning I ever saw was the full dirty-water tank, when I forgot to empty it. So if you’re the forgetful type like me, rest assured the sensors on the Baby Brezza have got you covered. Upkeep was simple. I drained the tanks thoroughly between uses and let them air-dry, and I never found dirt, mold, or buildup in them. ### Noise Level Noise level score ★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5) I *can* hear this baby bottle washer working, but it's quiet enough not to be a nuisance. I measured the noise level of the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) with a portable sound meter (it has a measuring range of 30–130 dB and an accuracy of ± 1.5 dB). It’s loudest during the wash cycle. That’s when the pump draws water and the directional jets spray it at high pressure, causing it to splash against the bottles and lids while the appliance hums loudly. The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro makes between 53 and 56 dB of noise during the wash cycle. The noise level during the wash cycle is 53–56 dB, about the same as my dishwasher and a little louder than the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/) (50–53 dB during its wash cycle in my tests). ### Cost of Ownership Cost of ownership score ★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5) The cost of owning the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) doesn’t end with the purchase. Just as your dishwasher needs detergent pods, you’ll need to keep buying detergent tablets to use this baby bottle washer. Baby Brezza's detergent tablets come in packets of 30 tablets and boxes of 120 tablets. Photo by Dim Nikov / Dad’s Picks Baby Brezza strongly advises against using regular detergent or other brands’ tablets in its appliance. And, frankly, I understand why: the manual says household detergent isn’t sized for a washer this small, so it foams too much and leaves residue. I used the official Baby Brezza tablets the whole time. The [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) dries baby bottles with air drawn through a HEPA filter. [According to the EPA](https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/what-hepa-filter), this type of filter can, in theory, remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and other airborne particles 0.3 microns in size. Baby Brezza recommends replacing the filter every 3 months; I replaced mine every 3–4 months. I wouldn’t skip it if you use the appliance daily, because the filter collects dirt over time. Lastly, if your home has hard water, Baby Brezza recommends a water softener, distilled water, or frequent descaling. Buying distilled water adds up, but it paid off for me: I used almost only distilled water, so I descaled just once in the whole time we had it, with Baby Brezza’s descaler. According to the manual, a descaling reminder light comes on after every 20 uses. I mostly ignored it for that reason, but if you have hard water and don’t use distilled, don’t ignore it.

After nearly a year of daily use, nothing broke, leaked, or wore out, and I’d buy it again. If I needed a baby bottle washer for the nursery or some other room where there’s no sink, this bottle washer is a fantastic and dependable option. That’s where it beats the [Momcozy KleanPal Pro](https://dads-picks.com/momcozy-kleanpal-pro-review/), which needs a sink for its drain hose. However, if you’re a parent or grandparent with limited mobility or difficulty lifting heavy items, the dirty water tank’s weight makes other bottle washers a better fit. You’ll find them in [my guide to the best baby bottle washers](https://dads-picks.com/best-baby-bottle-washers/). ***Check the latest price with your preferred retailer:*** - [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) - [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro on Walmart](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Baby-Brezza-Bottle-Washer-Pro-Washer-Sterilizer-Dryer-All-One-Machine-Cleans-Bottles-Pump-Parts-Sippy-Cups-Replaces-Hand-Washing-Brushes-Drying-Racks/5534055750) ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What kind of water should you use in the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro? Tap water is fine unless your home has hard water. [Baby Brezza’s manual](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1465/2384/files/BRZ0103_Bottle_Washer_Pro_BW_IM_US_250903.pdf?v=1765855769) warns that hard or well water can leave mineral residue on bottles after drying, and recommends a water softener, distilled water, or descaling more often. Baby Brezza says a white film can also come from using more than one detergent tablet. Our apartment in Spain had hard water, so I used almost only distilled water in ours. The bottles came out without spots, and I had to descale just once. ### Does the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro use detergent? Yes: one Baby Brezza detergent tablet per wash, placed in the detergent tray (it’s fine if it falls into the sump). [The manual](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1465/2384/files/BRZ0103_Bottle_Washer_Pro_BW_IM_US_250903.pdf?v=1765855769) says not to use liquid, powder, or pod detergent made for your household dishwasher, because it isn’t sized for this washer, so it creates too much foam and leaves residue on your bottles. Baby Brezza also says using other detergents voids the warranty. Is that residue harmful? The [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/hygiene/about/clean-sanitize-store-infant-feeding-items.html) is fine with washing bottles in a regular dishwasher. But this is a baby bottle washer, not a dishwasher, and its manual rules out detergent sized for one. Too much detergent leaves a visible film on bottles and nipples, and nobody wants that. It comes with 60 free tablets. ### How long does the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro take? A full wash, sterilize, and dry cycle takes 88 minutes: a 10-minute wash, three 3-minute rinses, a 9-minute sterilize step, and 60 minutes of drying. Wash only takes 19 minutes, and wash and dry takes 79 minutes. Afterward, [Baby Brezza says](https://www.babybrezza.co.uk/products/bottle-washer-pro) items stay sterilized for up to 72 hours as long as you keep the lid closed. ### What bottles fit in the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro? Does it work with Dr. Brown’s? It holds up to four bottles at a time, and [Baby Brezza says](https://babybrezza.com/products/bottle-washer-pro) it fits virtually all bottles and most pump part sets; wearable pump parts need its Breast Pump Rack, sold separately. Dr. Brown’s bottles work well: the bottom rack has dedicated slots and side jets for the green vent parts, though the manual says they can also be handwashed. There’s room for 8-oz bottles, but the top rack is cramped, so we usually had to wash the bottle caps in a separate cycle. ### How well does the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro hold up? Very well. I used ours every day from the fall of 2024 to September 2025, and not a single part broke, leaked, or wore out. The only error I ever saw was the full dirty-water tank warning. I replaced the HEPA filter every 3–4 months, used only Baby Brezza tablets, descaled once, and drained and air-dried the tanks between uses. I never found dirt, mold, or buildup. ## Why You Can Trust This Review A video message from Dim Nikov, *Dad's Picks* editor It's hard to trust anything on the internet, so why should you trust me? Three reasons, actually: 1) I'm a dad, 2) I owned this baby bottle washer, and 3) I bought it with my own money and for my own needs. My wife and I got the [Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKRWC8ZN/?tag=dpreview0-20) shortly before our son’s birth because neither of us was particularly excited about spending countless hours handwashing baby bottles and breast pump parts. When I first wrote this review in December 2024, he was just over a month and a half old. Everything I tell you about using it comes from my own firsthand experience: six weeks of daily use before I first wrote this review, and nearly a year in all, from the fall of 2024 until September 2025. Where I cite Baby Brezza’s manual or website, or other parents’ reviews, I link to them so you can see exactly what came from where. Basically, it’s what I wish someone had told me before I bought it. To see how I test and score baby gear, visit my [How I Test](https://dads-picks.com/how-i-test/) page. I created *Dad’s Picks* to help other dads and moms just like you choose the best baby gear. And I did so after having to sift through *a thousand* fake reviews and inferior products myself. Thanks for reading this far, and I hope you found this review helpful! Wishing you all the best. From my family to yours, with love and appreciation.
